Impact of Arterial Reconstruction Technique on Hepatic Arterial Thrombosis in a Decade of Pediatric Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is a morbid and potentially fatal complication following pediatric liver transplantation (PLT). Previous registry studies have identified preoperative characteristics associated…2022 American Transplant Congress
Gene Expression Profiles of Peritubular Capillarits in Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection
*Purpose: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is one of the most significant contributors to late graft loss. Hallmark characteristics include peritubular capillaritis (ptc) and glomerulitis (g). Diffuse…2022 American Transplant Congress
Post Transplant Virologic Outcomes in DCD Kidney Transplant Recipients Treated with Thymoglobulin Induction Immunosuppression and Maintenance Belatacept vs Calcineurin Inhibitor Therapy
*Purpose: Belatacept is an inhibitor of the T-Cell costimulatory pathway that can be used in recipients of Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) where the intended…2022 American Transplant Congress
Flow Cytometric Pattern of γδ Tcr Expression Identifies Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: The main challenge with kidney transplantation is the possibility of rejection, classified into two types, antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR). The…2022 American Transplant Congress
P2X7R Inhibition Impairs In Vitro Training of Macrophages
*Purpose: Macrophage training and ATP-mediated P2X7R signaling are unrelated key elements of the innate immune response associated with allotransplant rejection. In the present study, we…2022 American Transplant Congress
Increased Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 is Associated with Less Severe Clinical Bleeding After Reperfusion During Liver Transplantation
University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Severe bleeding following reperfusion in liver transplantation (LT) is often discrepant with available objective laboratory and thromboelastography data. This bleeding may be due to…2022 American Transplant Congress
On the Circuit: Intra-Operative CRRT in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients with Acute Kidney Injury
*Purpose: Acute renal failure is common in pediatric patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT), with an incidence of 17-55%. Fluid, metabolic and acid-base aberrancies are often…2022 American Transplant Congress
Impact and Consequences of Recipient Gastroduodenal Artery (GDA) Ligation Prior to Hepatic Artery (HA) Anastomosis During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT)
Abdominal Transplant Surgery, UNC School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC
*Purpose: The recipient GDA is often ligated before the HA anastomosis during OLT either to gain mobility, length on recipient HA and with hypothesis that…2022 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Voriconazole Dosing for Preventing Aspergillus in Lung Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: We sought to evaluate the efficacy of voriconazole (VCZ) 200 mg twice a day (BID) for 3 months post lung transplant (LT) in preventing…2022 American Transplant Congress
Depletion of Donor Macrophages Permits Post-Transplant Tolerance Induction
*Purpose: Using donor splenocytes fixed with cross-linker ethylcarbodiimide (ECDI-SPs), our lab has induced tolerance in a variety of murine and non-human primate models when one…
